New Flash Plastics
« on: August 01, 2014, 10:07:01 PM »
Was lucky to win a complete set of new Genuine Bally Williams reproduction plastics for my Williams Flash this week.
Installed them today and it looks a lot more colourful now than before.
Had a few chips and cracks on the old ones to.
With the plastics I also got all the original paperwork that came with flash, instruction cards, manual, parts catalogue and all the score cards.

Your old plastics look a lot better than what i have on my Flash @ the moment :D  I have new ones i bought for mine from MAD Amusements, that i'll put on after the resto is done (in about ten years time the way i'm going, if i dont die first)  :lol

Good score with yours  ^^^ ^^^ getting all of the original paperwork as well was a nice added bonus!

Interesting observation.

I have three Flash machines and all three have different coloured plastics. If I take the left sling from one game and place it on one of the other games it looks different. I took all three games' sling plastics aside and no two are the same. Tomorrow I will try to match the CPR Repros with one of the three games. I'll bet that the repros won't match at least two of the original sets..

Same issue with Bally Star Trek. I've had six games next to each other and I struggled to find two sets EXACTLY the same.

I have 4 sets of plastics including the CPR set ..
some have more orange in the red
bolder black outlines and in lettering ..
skin colour varies a lot

The only one that looks the same as CPR is  Ivo's Flash
